My condolences to the Chester Martello Family. I meet him at the dances and Ascend Christian Singles Group. He had a great sense of humor, always smiling and friendly. I was hoping to get well and be able to dance with him again. That will have to wait till we meet in heaven. He had a lot of class.

his friend,
